Discharge instructions for newborn
Back to SleepHealthy babies should sleep on their back. One of the most important things you can do to help reduce the risk of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) is to put your healthy baby on his or her back to sleep. Do this when your baby is being put down for a nap or to bed for the night Schedule for Feeding

You should feed your baby whenever he or she is hungry. Most babies eat every two to four hours. Do not wait longer than five hours between feedings. Care of the CircumcisionIf your baby is circumcised, his penis may be swollen for about a week. Initially, the tip of the penis will be very red. Over the course of a few days it will slowly change to a more pink, fleshed-colored appearance as it heals. He may have a LITTLE bleeding. This should stop in 24 hours. If you notice more than a little blood, please call your pediatrician. There may also be a yellow-white discharge on his penis on the second day after the circumcision. This is normal and will go away as your baby heals. A little Vaseline applied directly to the area will keep the crust soft and keep the diaper from sticking. With each diaper change, place a quarter size amount of Vaseline on a piece of clean gauze and place it on the tip of the penis. By the sixth day or so the skin is healed, the yellow crusting disappears, and the penis appears pink and normal. Warm water and soap applied to a soft cloth are all that is necessary for bathing. Wash the penis and scrotum gently. This will not harm the circumcision and is necessary for good hygiene. His penis may be sore for a few days, so put his diaper and clothes on loosely When to Call Your Baby’s Doctor

...Being a Teacher
Although teaching, from the outside looking in, appears
simpler than it actually is, there are many challenges a teacher
faces throughout his or her career. Despite these difficulties, there
are also many rewards. As I consider this field for my future
career, I will discover some of the most important aspects, such
as the beginnings of teaching, how the profession has evolved
and where teaching is headed in the future. Also it is
important to note the availability of jobs and education you must
acquire before becoming a certified teacher.
Since the beginning of time, teachers have covered the earth.
In the earlier years, informal teachers, parents, who taught their
children about the world. The early mothers and fathers also taught
their children how to survive, a means of getting food, and which
pathways to avoid. Of course, informal teachers to this day, aren't
paid anything but are only awarded the satisfaction of raising a
human being.
Next in the order of educational institutions came the one
room school house. Teachers of 1872 were required to complete
certain tasks before the day's session. The teacher, after arriving
in the morning, was required to fill lamps and clean the chimney, in
addition to building a fire. Their duties weren't terribly taxing.
However the limitation that were put on their social...

...Inquiry Paper
Through experiences this class has given me the opportunity to endure, I have learned many things that significant to becoming a teacher. Prior to this class I hadn’t thought much about the things that are important and the work it takes to become a teacher. One thing that really came to surface for me was that patience is absolutely key in teaching to special education students. Patience is important because all students learn at different paces. Other important virtues to go along with being patient are being flexible and open-minded. This is important because while you may plan a day out to the second, more often than not, something goes wrong. In a time where something doesn’t go as expected, teachers need to stay calm and be open-minded to changes in their. Being flexible is just as important because if your students do not understand the lesson or if you are having an off day with a student or multiple students, you need to adjust the schedule accordingly. The COEHS that stood out the most was Personal Philosophy. This states “the CSU teacher education student articulate a personal philosophy of teaching and learning that is grounded in theory and practice.” This is important to me because as a teacher, it is important to be consistent with your beliefs and philosophies. Learning in this class has provided me with experiences that I can use in the future when I become a teacher. This class has taught me how to be...

...Effective teaching is based on principles of learning which have been discussed in some detail in Chapter 1. The learning process is not easily separated into a definite number of steps. Sometimes, learning occurs almost instantaneously, and other times it is acquired only through long, patient study and diligent practice. The teaching process, on the other hand, can be divided into steps. Although there is disagreement as to the number of steps, examination of the various lists of steps in the teaching process reveals that different authors are saying essentially the same thing: the teaching of new material can be reduced to preparation, presentation, application, and review and evaluation. Discussions in this handbook focus on these four basic steps. | |
Preparation
For each lesson or instructional period, the instructor must prepare a lesson plan. Traditionally, this plan includes a statement of lesson objectives, the procedures and facilities to be used during the lesson, the specific goals to be attained, and the means to be used for review and evaluation. The lesson plan should also include home study or other special preparation to be done by the student. The instructor should make certain that all necessary supplies, materials, and equipment needed for the lesson are readily available and that the equipment is operating properly. Preparation of the lesson plan may be accomplished after reference to the...

... Teaching can be a great job, and extremely beneficial and satisfying. The daily life of a teacher is not really all that hard to manage. One of the major daily routines that must be done is of course, teaching the daily objectives to the students so that they may understand them and learn. However, before they teach the day's objective, they have to lay lesson plans out and figure out how they will teach that certain criteria, building the lesson around the text book and the knowledge that the students have already acquired. They must keep in mind the guidelines that have been laid out already by the school district that must be covered and make certain that they mention it or them at the proper time in the lesson.
While the teacher is teaching the objectives for the day, they must also maintain an orderly and well behaved classroom and learning environment. To do this they must have their students trust and respect so they listen, allowing the teacher to be as effective as the possibly can. When misbehavior is going on and disrupting the classroom, they must take immediate action to show the students that misbehavior will not be tolerated and can be put down before anything serious can occur, and also discouraging any further undesirable behavior. The teacher must also be a great role model, to show the students that it is possible to behave, and grownups do it, since children are always striving to be...

...essentially outlines the requirements for a good teacher and also the environment of teaching and learning that they create in the classroom. Essentially Adorno requires the teacher to be an intellectual i.e. –to possess a “relationship to his own work and to the total social totality of which it is a part “1 .This intellectualism , according to Adorno should extend to every section of the Childs curriculum and not just focus on an area in which the teacher is proficient. Essentially this means that the child should not struggle in P.E merely because his or her teacher is not athletic or sport orientated. There are many factors in Adorno's piece which I feel contribute to the development of this intellectual wholeness and I will attempt to outline them in my essay.
Firstly, and perhaps most importantly the “teacher needs to understand themselves and teaching first”2. The identity of the teacher in Post-modern Ireland is slightly shaped by the curriculum they follow but never dominated by it. However, while the curriculum may have its downfalls the blame ultimately lies on the shoulders of the teacher who implements it. According to Adorno philosophy is “the art of self expression”3.So, essentially is teaching. Due to society’s demands for teachers many children are subjected to “the hands of an immature and uneducated intellect.”4 .Specifically speaking if a student in teaching college attends none of...

...others. Professionalism is a new principle of social organization which has emerged, based on trained expertise, selection and reward by merit (Perkins, 1989). American College Dictionary defining the profession says that a profession is a "vocation requiring knowledge of some department of learning or science". A professional is one who follows "an occupation as a means of livelihood or gain," or one who is "engaged in one of the learned professions". And Professionalism is exhibited by one of the "professional character, spirit or methods" or the "standing, practice, or methods of a professional as distinguished from an amateur". Now to the question that whether teaching is a profession or not, some people consider it as a profession and some do not. However, I would firmly and in one line statement say that teaching is a profession. How? The following passages would clarify.
Although the term 'professional' might at first glance seem to be relatively easy to define, it is in fact quite complicated. Eliot Freidson spends an entire chapter (20 pages) attempting to define the term. He notes for example, that while dictionary definitions, such as those in the Oxford English Dictionary and Webster's Third New International Dictionary, may be "socially authoritative", that is, useful to people in a society who want some clarification of what a profession is, they are often too narrow. He comments later that defining professions as occupations with...

...﻿What is Remedial Teaching?
• It is a multifaceted approach, tailoring remedial intervention plans to a child’s specific needs. It makes use of one-on-one instruction, small group instruction, written work, verbal work and computer-based work.
• Remedial Therapy focuses on skills rather than on content.
• These skills include visual discrimination, perceptual organisation, laterality, sequencing, abstract reasoning, auditory processing, sound recognition, blending, segmenting, phoneme manipulation, mathematical operations, focusing and eye tracking.
• Help is offered to pupils who need (pedagogical/didactic) assistance.
• These are often children who function at a lower than average level because of a certain learning- or behavioural problem/disorder, but it can also be offered to pupils who achieve at a higher than average level, they too can do with the extra attention and care.
• It involves working systematically: observing, diagnosing, remediating, evaluating.
• Working purposefully and intensively with a pupil.
• Seeing to it that the pupil can remain at his/her school.
• Providing information to the child and the persons involved.
• Remedial teaching is not re-teaching.
Procedure
• An intake conversation, checks, tests and/or observations take place.
• A picture is formed of the pupil by chatting to the teacher and the parents in order to discover where the problem lies.
• When this is clear (diagnosis) a...

...Introduction
This essay seeks to focus on two main concepts that have influenced my thinking in regards to my own teaching career. My personal interest in the two concepts have opened up a window of opportunity for me to critically evaluate the overlapping influences that have impacted my teaching as a new born lecturer in adult education. First; I will evaluate the concept of an “Expert teacher” and secondly; I will compare and contrast the values underpinning “Critial Reflection” and its relation to the notion of expert teacher as held and practiced in the context I have worked in as an Early Childhood lecturer in the Tonga Institute of Education.
The notion of an expert teacher has a strong influence on my own personal belief, mainly because I don’t necessary agree with the concept itself and its relation to teacher performances. My own personal belief has lead me to question wheather the concept of an “expert teacher” should really be acknowledged as a concept that deeply defined varies quality we see in teachers. Thus, it does not convinced us that being an expert indicates quality to practice. However, this course has given me an oppoutunity to uncover many findings and researches that will help me understand more deeply this conflict but rather interesting concept.
In fact, there are number of researchers who have attempted to define the word “Expert teacher”, and in one way or another have tried to analyse pieces...
